Joe Quincy - Clarity

Keeping my eyes in front of me
Putting the most behind me
Keepin' the rest beside me
Keep on the rise, keep on the rise
Swallow the pride, veer slightly
Keep from the path, but tread lightly
Ignore the flies, they're not frightening
Keep on the rise, keep on the rise
Then for a moment, I step away from myself
And it's all so clear, just for a moment
Focus the eyes, speak quickly
Make for the peak, time slipping
Out of my hands, out of my life
Out of control, keep on the rise
Keeping my eyes in front of me
Putting the most behind me
Keeping the rest right beside me
Keep on the rise, keep on the rise
Again for a moment I step away from myself
And it's all so clear, just for a moment
Keeping my thoughts where they need to be
Eliminate the enemy
Vigilant eyes trace behind me
Hold the disguise, keep on the rise
Keep on the rise, keep on the rise
Keeping my eyes in front of me
Bodies and smoke stack behind me
What's left is inside me
Keep on the rise, keep on the rise
For a moment, it all seems clear
I step away from myself
What have I built, what have I done
What have I sacrificed to make what I've become
Have I amassed a meaningless wealth
On the cusp of clarity I lost my feet from the ground
Oh no, this is truly scaring me, I need to come back down
Sliding through disparity, from the bias and skew
Lost in self-sincerity, alone with the truth
Face to face with clarity, every shadow unveils
Look at this catastrophe in the wake of my trail
And the moments after feel like I've lost all control of the wheel
The reality settles, I built the battle, I built the battlefield
The last question hovering, "does this change my regard?"
Not if I'm left smoldering cause I've carried this flame too far
I return from the other side, half crazed with clarity
My resolution resolved way past reconciling, you should be so scared of me
The strong won't bend to the weak, they look like flies to me
So go ahead, stand in my way
I press on. I press on
Like the edge of a fire, I'll climb higher
Like the edge of my empire, I'll climb higher
And I'll crush anyone that tries to stop me now
